Aye, too true. EMC Symmetrix/SRDF here, never felt the need for ASM.
Besides: I doubt ASM can handle DB2/MSSQL/Outlook/Wintel/VMware environments as
well. EMC can. In the same SAN.
Did that last simple fact stop Oracle sales/"experts" from spending the last 5
years telling my management I'm a "bad dba" because I don't need to use ASM?
Nope...

It also likely supports a little more than just Oracle databases?
